Background
editThe previous single ("My Man") was the group's debut record in 1977 and charted in the Benelux countries. The follow-up single was entitled "Dream, Dream". The musical arrangements were inspired by the sound of ABBA. It flopped and the group seemed to be a one-hit wonder. The real breakthrough came in 1978 with the success of "U.O.Me (Theme from Waldolala)" and "You're the Greatest Lover".
Commercial performance
editThe single failed to enter the Dutch Top 40. However, in December 1977, it peaked at #16 on the Tipparade[1] which listed the singles below number 40 that did not enter the official Dutch charts.
